The Kitsap Sun reports that prosecution of the now 10-year-old boy was deferred if he met conditions that included writing an apology to the victim, attending counseling, keeping up with school and staying away from weapons.

The boy said he took the gun to school because he felt threatened by classmates. It was in his backpack when it discharged on Feb. 22, 2012, in Bremerton, Wash.

KOMO-TV says the boy addressed the court Thursday, thanking those who have helped him and saying he was "very sorry" for the family of the victim, Amina Kocer-Bowman. She survived.

Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Steve Dixon said he was optimistic he wouldn't see the boy back in court.

The Register-Guard reports the Circuit Court jury took less than two hours Thursday to reach a decision, awarding no damages to Michael Fleming.

The man alleged he was subjected to demeaning verbal abuse while serving as an unpaid co-host of "The Donkey Show" on KFLY-FM in 2011 and early 2012. He contended the on-air insults created such a toxic work environment that he feared for his safety and had to quit.

Lawyer Mario Conte represented Bicoastal Media, the company that owns the station. He told jurors that Fleming failed to show he was subjected to discrimination, was demoted or was treated any differently than anyone else who appeared on the program. Conte says insulting banter is the nature of the show.

Fleming and his lawyer declined comment after the verdict.

Spokane Valley wants stricter regulations on adult bookstore

The city of Spokane Valley wants to impose stricter regulations on an adult bookstore.

Undercover detectives report lewd behavior by groups of men in second-floor rooms at the Hollywood Erotic Boutique where they watch sexually explicit movies.

The owner is fighting the move and says the city's adult entertainment regulations are vague and overly broad.
